The Bulletin reporter in check
ing the report said, “Contrary
to popular belief the summer
months of July, August and Sep
tember showed more business than
[ the spring periods from January
I 1 to April 1. The quarterly break
j down shows a healthy year round
growth for the past cwo years, and
indicates that Tryon is no longer'
just a “winter resort” only. Many
people have found the community
delightful the year round and
come back for their summer vaca
tions as well as their winter
stays.”
